Key Contributors Toward the Chiefs Playoff Chances

The Kansas City Chiefs offense runs through superstar QB Patrick Mahomes. In fact, odds for Mahomes to win the MVP are a great bet every season. Now, the Chiefs' front office needs to continue to build around Mahomes, especially with four of their wide receivers hitting free agency. WRs Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster have re-signed with the Chiefs.

TE Travis Kelce is another mainstay of the Chiefs' offense, serving as a complement to speedy receiver WR Xavier Worthy and Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, who spent most of last season on IR. A full season of health at the WR position could yield another strong bet for the Chiefs' playoff odds. 

The running game wasn't anything special in the playoffs last year between RB Isaiah Pacheco and RB Kareem Hunt. Kansas City has re-signed Hunt, so the Chiefs need to continue to invest in their offensive line in the offseason. Kansas City is already making moves, placing their non-exclusive franchise tag on guard Trey Smith and trading guard Joe Thuney to Chicago for a 2026 fourth-round pick. The Chiefs also signed OT Jaylon Moore. We'll have to see how the rest of the roster pans out come free agency and the NFL Draft. 

Where Can I Bet on the Chiefs Playoff Odds?

You currently can't legally bet on the Chiefs' playoff odds while you're in Missouri. However, that will soon change as sportsbooks will go live in the Show-Me State sometime this year. We don't know which sportsbooks will be available just yet, but these are our best bets for betting on whether the Chiefs can make the playoffs. 

When Can I Bet on the Chiefs' Playoff Chances?

Currently, you cannot bet on the Chiefs in any way if you're in Missouri, including their playoff chances. However, our best guess is that you'll be able to bet on the Chiefs' playoff odds by the start of the 2025 season. That's not a guarantee, but it's our assumption. 

Will There be Promos for the Chiefs?

Yes, there will certainly be Missouri sports betting promos specifically for the Kansas City Chiefs, given they're the home team. Most sportsbooks offer bonuses for local professional sports teams, so the same should be expected in Missouri. 

Chiefs Playoffs Predictions and Outlook

The Chiefs will be on the revenge tour in the 2025-2026 NFL season after suffering an embarrassing loss in Super Bowl LIX. Outside of that, the Chiefs have been perennial locks for the NFL playoffs. So barring any season-ending injuries to Kansas City's key starters or any major departures, the Chiefs' playoff chances should be another lock for this coming season. 

Andy Reid knows how to coach, and knows how to win. The biggest catalyst for the Chiefs playoff odds will be in the offseason with any additions or departures through free agency and the NFL Draft. So while we head through the summer, keep this page bookmarked as we continue to provide updates on Kansas City's roster moves, but at the end of the day, the Chiefs playoff odds are a given, at least to us. 

Kansas City has signed a number of players including RB Elijah Mitchell, OT Jaylon Moore and QB Gardner Minshew, to name a few. Players who have departed from the Chiefs include OT Joe Thuney, S Justin Reid, WR DeAndre Hopkins, WR Justin Watson, DT Tershawn Wharton and RB Samaje Perine.
